I found this great site as I was doing a bit of research for later this summer:

I have a bad habit of being a worry wart and over packing so I have every possible problem solved. This helps me let go of that worry and just take what I need. I like having to "make do" so I don't know why I insist on overpacking...

Kids are the worst for overpacking! Oh my gosh! LOL! I used to actually pack really light for trips. Yeah- not so much anymore! ROFL

Great link. I actually used to underpack but had to learn there really are certain things that are necessary to even roughing it. Now I enjoy any comfort. I haven't been out for awhile. Last time was canoeing on the Chetco River in Oregon. GREAT! MB

Great link, Elizaray - thanks! I hope it'll help my overpacking problem, too. I often think I'm taking just the bare necessities, but I end up with MOUNDS of gear (esp with kids).
